Park Forest, IL, and Beyond-(ENEWSPF)- CMAP’s Local Technical Assistance program is supported by a grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. It allows CMAP staff to help local communities and organizations to implement the GO TO 2040 comprehensive regional plan. Projects include the development of a comprehensive plan for the Village of Campton Hills, land use planning and redevelopment of the Old Joliet Prison site, and the development of the City of Chicago’s Green and Healthy Neighborhood Plan.

In this video, local mayors John Ostenburg of Park Forest and Rick Reinbold of Richton Park discuss the grant-funded program and what it means to their communities.
